When I saw this, I was thinking a King Ranch F150.

Be more specific. They sell King Ranch EVERYTHING - F150/250/350 etc, Expedition..

Look in a Truck Trader.

BTW, my fiance has owned several 7.3s and now has a 2006 F350 King Ranch with the 6.0. It's just as fast, tows just as strong, and is quieter. I want to say it gets a hair better MPG, too. There's not a thing wrong with the 6.0s.

Also the "cowhide" intereior in those trucks dont last at all. I have seen countless 2 year old King Ranches sitting on lots with the interior all wrinkled and worn the hell out. I think its due to the sun...and the 6.0s have numerous TSB's on them. They have alot of problems with injector failures, turbos going bad... as well as lifting headgaskets. I have worked on half a dozen in the past 4months that have had bad head gaskets. with less than 60k on them.

I have a 7.3 and my best friend has the 6.0 in our F350s. He has a good truck. It has far more power than mine and is much quieter. However, I get better gas milage. I average about 4 mpg better than he does. Overall, we have both had good luck with our trucks and both are chipped.


The 'L' is a much better choice for a DD!
Good Luck

We ordered seat covers for ours, so the wear-and-tear on the seats is not an issue. These cover the armrests, the folding armrest/cup holders in the backseat, etc. The only leather that's exposed is the center console cover. It all looks brand new still, and this is a work truck with 40k miles on it in 9 months.
